    4 '06 Dodge Charger SE Stock Rims and Caps

    These are four STOCK rims that came off of a new '06 Dodge Charger SE (6 cylinder 3.5L High Output) that I purchased in 2005 - less than 200 miles. They come with the hub caps. These hub caps fooled me at the dealership (when I got home and realized they were caps, I had rims put on the...

    2 Nitto Drag Radials 315/35R17

    These are Drag Radials 555R - they have less than 300 miles on them - they are designed for the drag strip and to be street legal. I switched to Mickey Thompsons (more consistent at the drag strip, but TERRIBLE in the rain) right after I bought these. I sold the 04 Cobra they came off of...

    MT ET Street Radial - burnout and psi

    I might go to the track tomorrow - first time on ET Street Radials. I've used Nitto 555s and Nitto DR before. MT website says heavy burnout not required and 12-16 PSI. I'm thinking do a decent burnout and run first at 16psi - any thoughts? I'm trying to hook; haven't had any luck except two...

    atypical shifter whine? Help!

    I've searched through the forums, but my problem is different. The others talk about gear whine from the shifter area at speed or high rpms. I just noticed in the past couple of weeks that I get a high pitch whine mainly in neutral with the clutch out (like at a stop light). It goes away once...

    tire issues - HELP!

    Hey all - I'm running the nitto 555r's on my Cobra now, but ever since I did the pulley and tuning upgrade, I can't get any traction street or strip. Even after a dry heat-up at the track, I spin like crazy. I used the nitto DR's before, and got about 8k miles before they were bald. I'm...

    My pulley experience!

    So I called Doug a couple of weeks ago and took the plunge - 2.93 and 100mm idler w/ new idler bracket - followed his suggestion for a gates belt. Got the pulley and the belt the same day. Installed them last weekend. Thanks to tips from you guys, went very smooth. :pepper: Never did get...

    2 second pulley question

    I'm halfway through with putting a 2.93 pulley on (and idler), and it looks like I have to take the tensioner off to replace the belt. Do I have to remove the tensioner, and is it only the three obvious bolts that need to be removed to pull the tensioner? Thanks in advance! :beer: :shrug:

    quick Billet Flow install question

    Hey guys, I just got my box full of goodies from Doug. I know this may seem like a retarded question, but I am NOT a newbie (I've pulled engines, pulled and reinstalled a transmission myself in one afternoon with handtools, etc.). No instructions whatsoever. I want to know how to assemble the...

    Anyone using Brisk plugs? Any believers?

    I was browsing around and I came across the brisk plugs. Claims of up to 20 hp with just a plug change have been made. I am skeptical. Anyone use 'em; anyone swear by 'em? :beer:

    Best Price on Nitto 555s?

    I know last time I bought nittos (the DRs) I got them online for around 150 each approximately 320 shipped (for 2) then paid around 40 to get them mounted. I can't remember where I bought them from, though. Also, now I want the 555s so I can get a little extra life out of them. The 555s...

    MGW shifter opinions?

    Hey all, I read about the MGW shifter a little while ago - it was still a prototype then. Now that it's been out a while - can a few of you who have installed and run it for a while tell me how you like it? Years ago, I went with a Pro 5.0, then had problems with the shifter bolts in the...

    tires - traction vs. durability

    Hey guys, the search is down. I made it 8k miles on my F1s. Then I put Nittos on the back. Great traction, but they are nearing the tire graveyard after only 5k miles. I'm not a track hound - I've been twice, and plan to go again. Maybe 3-4 times a year. I don't want to go back to...

    My Cobra is hurt bad - any tips?

    Someone finally did it - wrecked my baby. As I went through an intersection with a green light, a guy coming the other way made a left in front of me - I slammed the brakes with everything I had, but there was no way I could prevent it. I hit, the airbags exploded, and I was dazed. I tried to...

    What do you all think of Stainless Steel bumper inserts on a yellow coupe? There's only 1 good photo on the stainlessbumperinserts.com website. It doesn't look too bad. What do you think? :burnout:

    New '04 question!

    Hey guys, I thought I remembered some of the 2nd run '03 cobras coming from the factory without the boost activating. After so many miles / so many starts then it would engage. Is that the case? I picked up an '04 today (I have to change my sig line) and have no boost. Not like I drove...

    Please Help me with my 60' Time!!!!

    Hey all, Yesterday, my second day at the track ever (I went about 6 weeks ago and had two runs - 13.5 and 13.4 respectively). It wasn't crowded, so I ended up with 6 runs. What a blast!!! I'm mostly stock except magnaflow catback, steeda triax, nitto drag radials (dropped to 16psi), K&N...

    Kudos to dealership - for a change!!

    Ok, here's the deal. A couple of months ago I took it in to have a LIST of things done. Clutch had been heavy as sin since day one. 50 pounds heavier than any other car I've ever driven. I thought this was a Cobra thing. A week before taking it in, the clutch adjustment seemed off. Self...

    TSB request - heavy clutch

    Hey all, I know a couple people in here have access to the TSB's on the Cobra. I'm approaching my 10k mark. I'm planning on taking it in, giving them the mobil1 for the oil change, and having all the little things addressed under the warranty. Mine is a first run cobra (received June...

    No 2005 Cobra?

    I just read a thread that said there will be no 2005 Cobra, the next one is due in 2006. Is this true? Confirmation? I haven't heard this, and was kind of looking forward to a '05 Cobra with the new body style. Starting to get the new car itch - I don't keep them too long: -'98 coupe -...

    Time for new rubber!

    Hey all, I know this has been discussed to death, but would appreciate some quick input. :shrug: My rears are bald at a little over 8k miles. I REALLY like the look of the 315 35 17 nittos. Can I get a nitto that will give me 10k miles? I don't want to spend 300 a tire. I don't drive...

    Mellowtone Mufflers? - the skinny!

    Ok folks, thought I'd let you know the scoop! :D I went to get some magnaflows welded in; but the service place (magnaflow sponsored, I might ad) said that magnaflow hadn't released a muffler for the '03 cobra yet. :dw: Knowing this to be BS, I call the place back the next day and give...
